Put technology to work for your district
Everyone wants convenience - give them PaySchools
It's easy and convenient!
Parents simply click on a link on the school district's home page, select the items they want to purchase, and use their credit card, debit card* or e-check, 24/7! Payments are transferred to your school district's local bank account.
Set up as many categories as you need quickly and easily. PaySchools generates a variety of sales reports.
With PaySchools, you have more advance purchases, so you have better cash flow. You'll get more timely purchases, too, and with more items available online, your staff, students and parents spend less time as "salespeople."
It's secure!
PaySchools ensures secure, safe transactions. Card and bank information is not stored; nor is it visible to PaySchools or the district at any time.
It saves time and money!
Frees office staff from processing so many checks and handling as much cash. You'll have fewer bounced checks. And fewer payments lost or forgotten between home and school.
